Another species only recently found for the first time in
Nottinghamshire, when recorded from the former Rufford Colliery site at
Rainworth by Tim Sexton (who kindly allowed us to use his photographs
below) in June 2020. As with most Chrysid wasps, safe identification can
only be achieved by close examination of a specimen. Hedychridium
cupreum uses the Sphecid wasp Dryudella pinguis as it's host species,
but it is uncertain whether it's larvae are parasitic, or
cleptoparasitic in regards to the host's larvae. |
